The defending Super Bowl champions are having an epic Super Bowl hangover. But the Philadelphia Eagles (4-4 SU, 3-5 ATS) can get back above .500 with a win this Sunday over the struggling Dallas Cowboys (3-5 SU and ATS), kicking off at 8:20 PM ET on NBC. The Eagles are 7-point home favorites at press time after opening at –6.5; the total is holding steady at 43.
Philadelphia started their Super Bowl defense with Nick Foles continuing to fill in at quarterback for Carson Wentz. The Eagles are 3-3 SU and 2-4 ATS since Wentz made his debut in Week 3, but they’re 2-1 SU and ATS in their past three games, with Wentz looking more and more comfortable each day.
Dallas have lost back-to-back games SU and ATS, leaving head coach Jason Garrett clinging to his job by a thread. The success Garrett and the Cowboys enjoyed during their first two years with Dak Prescott at quarterback appears to have dried up. Injuries to the offensive line play a large role here, particularly with Pro Bowl center Travis Frederick, who has yet to play a game this year after being diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome in late August.
